Mark OâKelly

Mark OâKellyâs fascination is with photography and the potential of painting to render it otherwise.As OâKelly himself remarks âIf photography glances a view or an action then painting fixes itâ. Photography presents worlds of de-constructed possibility because it frames things partially. It is the painterâs privilege, he maintains, âto re-construct and re-frameâ which he does with considerable skill and intuition and very much informed by his knowledge of process and the language and associations of the medium.
